Gearbox Diagnostics Fault Detection

By Walter Bartelmus

 

The article discusses the method of gearbox diagnostics fault detection, and shows that using: design, production technology, operational, change of condition (DPTOCC) factors analysis leads to inference diagnostic information.

Included is a review of the current possibilities for using mathematical modeling and computer simulation for investigating the dynamic properties of gearbox systems. Computer simulation of dynamic behavior of gearboxes is a powerful tool for supporting diagnostic inference.

Integrated Machinery Management

By: Jim Taylor Lafayette Industrial Training

 

This paper proposes a holistic, integrated approach to machinery management. Such a program is comprised of four major elements. There must be a systematic planned maintenance system for routine maintenance and condition assessment.

TPM Implementation Experiences

By: Siam Yoke Choy DS

TPM introduction to Infineon Technologies followed by the chronicle events and experiences learnt in adopting and adapting TPM development activities to improve productivity in DS Business Unit. It also identifies some of the difficulties faced while implementing TPM and finally proposes some solutions for eliminating them. 

Reviewing the most likely ways that equipment will fail has been a major concern in reliability-centered maintenance (RCM) to ensure that proactive, predictive and preventive maintenance activities during turnaround could be planned and carried out.
